*He's the hero the internet deserves, but not the one it needs right now.*
*So we'll watch him. Because he can teach it. Because he's not our hero.*
*He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A real engineer.*

Informative, practical solution. Unfortunately it does not prevent them from doing it again but it delays them.

Excellent job describing this to the non-technical users. Kudos, now I can just link to your video instead of trying to explain this to others. :)

I am a computer engineering student in first year and wanted to learn more about python but the main thing I take away from this video is your passion for protecting the public as an engineer. I never really understood engineering ethics but I am coming to learn how important it really is. Thank you engineer man. I aspire to be like you.

I just love the skill and speed of this guy, shutting down scammers is a gift that benefits the rest of us who don't have his knowledge.

Clear, efficient and effective. If we had say 10, 000 other "good guys" with the skillset like you have donate 30 mins a day blowing up scammer sites we might have a chance... I feel like I want to buy you a beer or something.

Now if only there was some way to write a program to do all of this for you.

We need more guys like you in the world. Many people are victims of scammers just by not knowing enough about technology. Very nice!

I'm really impressed by the efficiency of the simple steps you've shown.
I've never received such a message but I'll keep that for later, to inform friends and familly.

the like/dislike-ratio is sick!
This video is just awesome. Simple easy and effective - like a good piece of code - but also for people without programmingexperience

Thanks Engineer Man!! Great video to make people aware of how to report these guys. I hate scammers.

[LouisBertrandTech]

5 minutes or so? Nice! I'm impressed with the improvement in attitude by internet providers like Google and that URL shortener. In the past, let's say 15-20 years ago, I used to report spammers and scammers to the abuse@ and postmaster@ addresses and basically was ignored.

[MrPaddy]

What i learned in short,
1. Chrome Report a Phishing Page
2. URL shorter service - text them
3. Google Voice Abuse Form
4. who is for Abuse domain mail :)
Thanks Alotttt

[theRealtensigh]

Great tip. This won't stop them from sprouting up some other place but at least it shuts down the immediate site and that should help some people.

[Zinaida]

You did something like this: BAN HAMMER THAT SITE, and it worked. Really like the vids, keep up the good work!

[YusakuGaming]

dude, i love you, i get all the time scam emails and text here in uk, because the "digital police" is non-existent, and even if you send them a complaint, they will reply with "we do not have many resources, but we will do all we can", but this sir, you help me a lot. a big thank you

[column.]

Never thought of going the extra mile. Just did it for a few sites that were still up even after spamming them :D Thanks for showing me something I love doing, and inspiring me to learn more python

[sachinjha]

Wow dude, u r hero. Thanks for letting us know that this is how we can still teach scammers a lesson without being hackerman . Thanks . Please make more videos like these.

[andreamaral]

The amount of scammers out there reflects how profitable and how easy it is to scamm people. Doing those simple steps you will make the scammers life a little hard and hopefully make it less attractive to scam. Nice job man! Keep up with this amazing work.

[randysalber]

I've watched other vids you've posted which have more complex approaches, but this is so dead simple! Love It
